Elon Musk needlessly continues to tinker with X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

He responded to a comment and says the block feature will be deleted as a feature. This was in response to a question asking “if there is ever a reason to block vs mute someone?”

Blocking allows a user to remove another user’s posts from their feed while also restricting contact and their ability to see your posts. Muting allows someone to remove another user’s posts from their feed without unfollowing them but they are still able to reply to those posts – you just won’t see it.

It should be noted that the block feature is required for the app to be available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play store.


Windsor will be featured on the Amazing Race Canada tonight.

The episode will showcase different locations around the city. The episode is on CTV at 9pm.

Now in its ninth season, the show features 10 teams of two players with pre-existing relationships in a race across Canada. One team is eliminated after each leg of the competition until the final pair is left standing to win the grand prize of two Chevrolet Silverado ZR2’s, a “once-in-a-lifetime” round world trip for two, and a $250,000 cash prize.
